Apple didn’t have the second season that the Giants and the fanbase had hoped for the Ohio State product. He struggled on the field and dealt with issues off of the field that led to him being a healthy scratch on numerous occasions.

Things blew up when he retweeted a video of Dallas Cowboys running back Rod Smith burning the Giants secondary on a long touchdown run and then his feud with All-Pro safety Landon Collins showed that things were just as bad as they seemed.

Apple had been dealing with issues off of the field and many believed it was a reason behind his rough second season.

With new general manager Dave Gettleman taking over, it will be interesting to see what they do in terms of Apple’s future with the team but he was reinstated Tuesday, which could be a step in the right direction.
